Bailers

Bailer Applications
Sampling is accomplished by attaching the bailer to a line and lowering, usually by hand, into the liquid to be sampled, until the desired sampling depth is reached. As the bailer is lowered, the bottom check valve allows water to flow through the bailer. When the bailer is retrieved, the weight of the water closes the bottom check valve. The sample taken is a composite of water from the liquid being sampled. Generally used for very shallow sampling.

Collect composite samples from 2" wells and boreholes.
Feature a tubular stainless steel body with a wire loop bail and flouropolymer check ball on all models except model #2100.36 which is a top fill model.
SST construction allows for quick and easy decontamination
Tapered top on 1 3/4" model for smoother raising and lowering.

Eliminate decontamination and cleaning with inexpensive disposable bailers.
Translucent and clean bodies for sample viewing.
Inexpensive.
Eliminate decontamination setup.
Choose from clear PVC, translucent plyethylene or clear fluoropolymer construction.
The clear PVC models feature a heavier design than many weighted bailers. The positive sealing check valve will prevent loss of sample during recovery.
The translucent polyethylene models are available with or without weighted bottoms.
Clear fluoropolymer models are also available.
All disposable bailers may be emptied throught the easy pour top or with a slow emptying device included with each bailer.

BioBailers™ (biodegradable* bailers) are the same high quality PVC disposable bailer as Clear-View bailers. They are augmented with an additive Ecopure™ which makes them biodegrade* when discarded.
BioBailers™ have been tested for non-leaching using the SPLP EPA 1312 extraction process followed by analysis using EPA 8260 for volatiles and EPA 8270 for semi-volatiles. This is a long duration test of 18 hours, which greatly exceeds the expected use time of a disposable bailer. Here at AMS we just want to make sure our clients are receiving the highest quality bailer.
AMS has taken the lead of this issue for environmental sampling products and offers biodegradable products that will biodegrade in just a few years when discarded in a landfill. Users can now perform their groundwater or soil sampling tasks and dispose of the used samplers into a landfill without the feeling of exacerbating our plastic trash problem further.
BioBailers™ have all the same characteristics you expect from ESP’s Clear-View bailers:
easy to use
quality of materials
cleanliness
VOC and SVOC testing to EPA 8260B and EPA 8270D
assurance of clear and accurate samples
clarity to see your sample
Plus BioBailers™ have these additional features:
will biodegrade away in a few years
will no longer add to the filling of our landfills
will no longer contribute to our overwhelming plastic trash problem
allows us to sample groundwater without making a further problem elsewhere
Other Features:
Each BioBailer™ comes with a biodegradable free emptying device.
Each BioBailer™ comes sealed in a biodegradable plastic bag.
BioBailers™ are supplied in cardboard boxes made from partially recycled material.
*weighted bailers recommend with Poly Bailers. Poly Bailers do not sink naturally.
